Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 4 Chapter 112: "Reactionary forces"

In the small building of Mrs. Olgala, Grogening sat by the window and looked at the street outside. This is a slightly secluded place in the western part of Rome. Mrs. Olgala is very clever. She is not like other dusty women. I lived in a lively place, but chose this little, somewhat secluded street to build her love nest.

This is indeed a nest of love. Mrs. Olgala has known a lot of the nobles of Rome here, and some of them have become her guests to enjoy the unforgettable tenderness here.

For more than a year, Mrs. Olgala has become a well-known high-class prostitute in Rome, and she has been dealing with her in addition to the valuable and some rich people such as Gonzalo, Kotzach, and even some churches. The bishop here is also closely related to her.

"You seem to be having a good life here," Grogning turned to look at Orgala, who was standing at the door with a tray in his hand and some fruit and coffee on the tray. "You heard that My new hobby. "

"The servant you sent me to deliver said," Mrs. Olgala walked over to put down the tray and poured the coffee. "Do you need more sugar?"

"Less, I don't like the Ottoman taste," Grogning shook his head and refused. "I heard that Ashurk is very active in Rome?"

Olgala nodded: "Yes, Vizier seems to be very happy to live in Rome, and it seems that he doesn't want to leave."

Grogning smiled. He picked up the glass and tasted it slightly, then put down the glass and looked at Olgala: "So what do I ask you to do, how are you doing."

Hearing Grogning's inquiry, the look on Olgala's face was slightly sluggish, and she bit her lower lip lightly. After thinking about it, she said: "I haven't found the man, but I know that Schulk, there are others looking for him. "

"Who is it?" Groningen frowned.

"You know, a woman named Connie."

"It's her?" Grogning was slightly surprised, and then nodded. "I know her father is a good traveler. Although her family is not prominent, her father is a very famous person. He seems to be Almost all of Europe has come, and he has traveled farther. "

"Livant for example?" Olgala asked tentatively.

"Yes, those places, from Alexandria to Constantinople, he has been there."

"So is she looking for that person for Sudan?"

"This is not good. There are many people who want to find that person."

Olgala slowly sat on the carpet and leaned against Grogening and asked, "So you, are you also looking for that person?"

"I'm not interested in that person," Grogning shook his head. "Or maybe it was just some interest before. After all, it was a rather important piece, but now I hope to work well with that Gombre."

Hearing the mention of Alexandria, Olgala's face appeared slightly confused.

"Master, I don't understand what Gombre is doing. I have seen too many nobles. I can even guess the arrogant Gonzalo's thoughts, but I just don't know what that Gombre was thinking. "

"You can't guess what he thinks. This is normal," Grogning smiled. "Actually I couldn't think of it before."

"So now?" Olgala sensed what Grogening said.

"Now I still don't know, but I can be sure that this person is not fooling around. Not only does he have his own purpose, but he has done a lot of things for this purpose, I can feel it, so as long as I can know his What is the purpose, we can know whether we can get what we need from him. "

Grogening stretched out his hand and gently stroked Olgala's smooth jaw, with a hint of love in his eyes: "I let you do too many things you don't want, maybe you will continue to do it in the future, do you hate me? . "

"Not my master," Olgala leaned her head against Grogening's palm, closing her eyes gently like a beloved cat. "I'm very happy to be able to do these things for you. I don't think about it in the future. Yes, but now I am very happy. "

Grogning smiled with satisfaction, he went to the window and looked outside: "There are too many people in this city, but the vast majority of people do not know what they are doing, what they lack is not desire , But why you want to live. "

"What about your goal," Olgala looked at Grogning's back. "In order to make the Grogning family prosper forever?"

"How can there be a family that will thrive forever," Grogening sneered. "But I want the name of this family to be remembered forever, at least for the Netherlands and even the entire lowland region, so that even if there will be One day the Groningen family disappeared, but history still remembers the name firmly. "

Looking at Grogning ’s back, Olgala ’s heart throbbed, and she knew that Grogningen had n’t said it to anyone else, which made her proud of the trust she had received, just There was a faint voice shouting in my heart, hoping that her name would also be remembered by Groningen, even if one day she would not exist anymore.

In the evening, Alexander sent a letter to invite Grogning and Olgala to dinner at the Marino Palace. Olgala found that Grogning was suddenly agitated, which made her a little strange.

Then she noticed that in the letter, Alexander also mentioned another guest, the Imperial Palace Prime Minister Kotschah.

Olgala realized that Grogning had become so excited because of Kotzach, which made her secretly prepared to do as much as possible for her master when she saw the palace.

But Olgala's plan did not come true, because after arriving at the Marino Palace, she was arranged to chat with Ruosha and Joanna in a small hall.

A few men, even before they finished the dinner, hurriedly left.

Then, even Luo Sha disappeared.

In fact, Ruosha really wanted to talk more with Mrs. Olgala.

She wanted to learn how to become a charming woman from Mrs. Olgala.

The 18-year-old girl is a girl, but she is already a woman.

If it is another girl, perhaps one or several children have already been born at this time, and Lucrezia is already pregnant with children at this time.

As for the other wild girl who is still unaccounted for now, but she must never be taken lightly, Ruosha will never forget.

On the contrary, it was Barendi who had a fiancee status, and Ruo Sha felt no threat, because she knew that Alexander liked beautiful girls.

Barendi obviously has no advantage in this respect. Even if married, Alexander may have only obligations to her, and no love.

After Shaosha used her smart head to calmly analyze the enemy's situation, she originally wanted to learn the secrets of how to fascinate men from Mrs. Olgala, but she was more interested in the plans that Alexander had discussed. After the good queen and Olgala, she immediately left.

When Luo Sha walked into Alexander's room, she saw several men sitting around a table, but none of them looked very good.

Alexander was expressionless, while the other two were sullen.

"I think you lowlanders must have drunk too much," Kotszach looked at Grogning on the opposite side. "I actually wanted to break away from the emperor's rule."

"We just want to have our own rights," Grogning's irony of the palace is not allowed. "The Parliament of the Netherlands has always been the emperor. We pay various taxes and swear allegiance to every ren The ruling Grand Duke of Durham, but our parliament was elected by the people. The emperor ’s unauthorized dissolution of the parliament is an infringement of the law of the Netherlands. "

"How dare you ?!" Kotschah stood up angrily. "You dare to talk about the emperor arrogantly!"

"This is just a view." Grogening said coldly.

"It doesn't work," Gong Xiang looked angrily at Alexander. "Count, you actually let someone who dare to be so disrespectful to the emperor participate in our business. Don't you think it's too absurd?"

Alexander, who was silently watching the two of them arguing, glanced at Ruosha who was standing at the door frowning at the scene, then reached out and tapped on the map gently.

"Two, don't you think what really matters is not what the emperor did in the Netherlands, but what should we do ourselves," Alexander pointed to the area covered by the dense water network marked on the map. " There are the most convenient waterways and the most suitable place for establishing inland ports. We all know that the ports of Amsterdam will be closed for a period of time during the annual tide period, but this is a good thing for us, because our new port is completely Don't worry about this, I think you should be very clear about what this means. "

Grogning looked at the place where Alexander's finger was pointing and nodded slowly: "Yes, this means that when Amsterdam closes the port, we have the opportunity to become the largest port in the entire lowland area, and ... "

With that, his eyes moved slightly below the map, then he looked up at Alexander with a deep look.

"If I'm not wrong, you chose this place not only because it can deliver goods for you all year round," Grogening said, and clicked on the map. "From this place called Rotterdam to the male, you can quickly reach France, you seem ready to do business in France. "

Grogning's words attracted the attention of Kotzach. He looked at the map and then looked at Alexander with suspicious eyes.

"Is he true? Earl, are you going to do business with the French?"

"Actually, my brother has already handed over his business in France to his fiancée," Ruosha walked over to nod to the two of them, and then sat down next to Alexander. It is this place called Rotterdam that can be the key to the hinterland of Europe. "

She glanced at Grogning, and she did not have much affection for this Netherlandish Ruosha. She felt that the man ’s scheming was very deep. The most important thing was that he actually sent Sophia back to Alexander. This was Ruo Sha can't forgive me.

Ruosha's words made both men stunned. They looked at the map again and watched Alexander begin to slide along the lines representing different waters all the way to the hinterland. Their expressions gradually became more and more serious.

Finally, Alexander's finger stopped on the sign of a city, and in Kotschach's breath, he took a deep breath, and he nodded in the city marked "Frankfurt".

"Miyazaki, my previous suggestion that your family be the first director of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is always valid," Alexander said. "Imagine a river that runs through the water network from a non-frozen port all the way along the Danube The goods that are ultimately sent to Frankfurt will be used here as transit points to transport to farther places in Europe, and the Frankfurt exchange is the price setter for these goods. "

Kotzach's hand on the table jumped, and he didn't even notice that he almost touched the glass before him.

"Imagine Gong Xiang, your emperor may not be able to order the German lords, but you can have a huge influence on them, because once you have the pricing power of the goods, it means that both the lord and the rich businessman must follow you. The will, otherwise they will pass by in vain and wealth. "

Kotzach raised his head slowly, Miyazaki seemed to want to keep calm, but from his slightly flushed face, it could be seen that he was already a little difficult to control himself because of these words of Alexander.

"Let me think about it, I have to think about it." Gong Xiang stood up, and he looked a little confused. He didn't even notice the creaking sound of the chair that hit him when he stepped back.

Gong Xiang walked out of the door, and Ruosha noticed that he had torn open the two collar buckles that caught his neck, and then walked out with his collar open.

"What do you want," Grogning had the same look, and he looked at Alexander, as if he had just met him. "I thought you were pursuing wealth, and perhaps the power of Romagna and Tuscany, But now I'm not sure. "

"Actually, I have almost what you want." Alexander looked at Grogning and smiled.

Grogening jumped in his heart. He stared at Alexander while trying to see his mind, and said lightly: "You should have heard it before. I only hope that the Parliament of the Netherlands will be reconvened. Know that the Hanseatic League needs Ned. The support of the Blue Parliament, if the Parliament can be re-established, it is the best result for the Hanseatic League and for our Grogening family. "

For Grogning ’s explanation, Alexander did not care too much. He would not deliberately debunk Grogning ’s attempt to disguise his thoughts. On the contrary, he would help the Lowlanders cover up his true thoughts if necessary.

After all, it was Kotschah who cooperated with them. In order to make everyone happy to cooperate, even if pretending to be pretending, he had to help Groningen to cover up his true purpose.

There was a brief silence in the room, Grogning ’s eyes could not stop patrolling the lowland areas on the map, and Alexander picked up the wine glass and gently tasted the wine that Rosa sent from Naples.

Footsteps were heard outside the door, and Gong Xiang appeared at the door.

His face was pale, and it seemed that it was not too long for him to feel better.

"Netherland is now under the rule of Archduke Philip of Austria," Kotzach's tone was a little weird. He looked at Alexandria without looking at Groningen at all. It seemed that he did not exist. Some of what Lan did did seem to cause some dissatisfaction in the Austrian court. "

Grogning's sloping shoulders moved, and he looked at the palace with some surprise, but Kotzach seemed to make up his mind and didn't want to talk to him directly, so he always ignored him.

"What do you mean by your dissatisfaction?" Alexandria was also interested. For him, everything related to the Castilian court was very important, not to mention the legendary Huanna's husband.

Kotzach seemed to hesitate, and finally made up his mind to say: "The Grand Duke seems ready to allow the Dutch to restore their parliamentary system to a limited extent."

Luosha clearly heard Grogning's gasping voice, and she glanced at the Lowlander, noting that he first showed a trace of excitement, and then seemed to be lost in thought.

"And Vienna doesn't think it's a good idea, right?" Alexander asked, not surprisingly, the monarchs of the Habsburg dynasty were never people who liked the people, even the Fugel family who developed on them For the emperors of Habsburg, it was only helplessness and submission.

"If, I mean if," Grogning said carefully, his voice erratic. "The Grand Duke's decision has been fulfilled. Can the Netherlands have a great chance of having a parliament?"

For the first time Kotszach officially looked at Grogening, he paused and slowly shook his head: "The emperor will not allow this to happen, he loves the Grand Duke of Austria, but this is clearly beyond his tolerance. . "

"If the Grand Duke forced the restoration of Parliament in the Netherlands, don't forget that he is in power in the Netherlands." Groningen's voice showed some hope and seemed to be worried about something.

"If the emperor would order the expulsion of the parliament again, he might not treat his son, but to you," Kotzach smiled sarcastically. "The emperor will never have any mercy."

Grogening showed disappointment on his face. He picked up the glass and seemed to want to take a sip, but his hands were shaking slightly, and he finally put the glass on the table.

"But one thing must be admitted, UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Kotzchah no longer ignored Grogning, his eyes turned to Alexander, and at the same time the somewhat swayed look that had seemed to have gradually disappeared, a pair Smart eyes are now being cast in the eyes. "No matter whether this matter is successful or not, the prestige of the Grand Duke in the Netherlands will reach an unprecedented level. The people of the Netherlands will regard him as his true ruler and loyal to him. As far as I know, the Eltona Chamber of Commerce, one of the largest chambers of commerce in the Netherlands, is not only his supporter but also the owner of the Port of Amsterdam. "

Hearing this, Alexander couldn't help but look at Grogening next to him.

Seeing Grogening nod silently, Alexander couldn't help smiling.

He never imagined that he would one day be spurned by himself, but now it seems that he is destined to become a villain who is "enemy to all progressive forces."

"Besides this, there is one more thing," Kotschah licked his lips. "It takes a lot of money to build such a port."

Hearing this, Alexander smiled: "Please rest assured, Mr. Palace Prime Minister, I know someone will pay this money, believe me, they are really rich."
